“Highly recommend Carlie to care for your fur baby. She cared for our Corgi mix for 6 days while we were on vacation. Carlie sent us pictures of our baby taking walks and having treats. He was happy and well cared for and the peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for was priceless. So grateful for the love and care she gave to our sweet boy.”
“Olsen came back happy and exhausted from his time spent with Jill! She sent us updates and it gave us peace of mind to know Olsen had people and animals to play with while we were gone.”
“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”
About: I cat and dog sit for my family members regularly. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve been riding horses since I was 10 and started working on the farm when I was 12. I am available wherever, whenever. Whenever you need me there, I’ll be there. I will figure out a way for your animal to have top tier care. I would care for my clients home just as I would care for mine. I would never want anyone to disrespect my home therefore I would never disrespect anyone else’s.
“Gizmo had a wonderful time and was so well taken care of by Margit and Bill. Leaving him for over a week was so stressful to us as pet parents but the daily updates and photos took away any concerns we had. Leaving our precious baby with this wonderful caring couple who treated him as one of their own was a blessing. I know for sure Gizmo is missing hus Rover family already.”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our 11 year old Chihuahua with Kathy. This was the first time we left Tootsie with someone after having her 2 years. Tootsie has a bad back and seizure medication to take. Kathy was very careful to listen to all our concerns. She updated us twice daily with a lovely note about her day and a picture. We knew she was in great hands and we enjoyed our week with no worries. Tootsie had a wonderful time and had all her needs met. She had multiple walks a day and lots of attention. I highly recommend Kathy without any hesitation!”
“Tanner just LOVES his quality time at Jen’s. This was an extended stay due to our vacation and it’s so nice knowing he’s being well cared for. The daily updates and cute photos puts our minds at ease. Jen is the best!”
“Our dog, who can be a wee bit nervous, had such a lovely time with Jeremiah and his family! They were so kind and communicative, and we’ll happily trust them to care for her again. She can’t wait to be back for snuggles with the kids!”
About: For an about the past four years I volunteered at a in home dog foster care. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes, tempers, and needs till they reached their forever homes. Dogs of all needs are welcome under my care for no additional charge. Please make mw aware of any physical or medical needs. I am a collage student with year-round campus housing. I often do not have more than one or two classes a day that do not last longer than an hour and a half. All pets cats or dogs, will be dutifully cared for and monitored. Should your animal have a feeding, bathroom or medical routine you can trust that it will be followed. Pets of all sizes, tempers, and needs are welcome. Walks and playtime will be frequent based on your pets energy level. Any grooming needs outside of the occasional brush or paw wipe down that are not strictly necessary will carry an additional fee.
“We moved to the area recently and searched for a new pet sitter. My husband and I could not be anymore happier with the care Karen and Sean provided to our Molly! Our Molly felt right at home on her first stay. Karen and Sean took Molly on walks and gave her plenty of playtime. Definitely will be using Karen again in the future ❤️”
About: I have loved dogs my entire life, and grew up taking care of them from a young age. I have attended many dog training classes with my family dog, and understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules and administering simple medications, and play time. As a pet sitter I am dependable, responsible, and I pay attention to detail. I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I am currently a college student at Salisbury University so I have one to two classes in the morning and am free throughout the day to go for good walks, play time, and am available to do drop in visits. I also live in a house with a large fenced yard and I offer dog boarding. I provide safe, reliable dog care. I have reliable transportation and lots of available time during to the day to either come let your dog out for a good walk, or I also offer dog boarding at my own home that has no other pets and has a large fenced yard.
“Michele and Paul were great! I was sent super cute pictures everyday! I love how they included Mayzie in everything they did while they had her! I will definitely use her again!”
“Carley was the best! Excellent communication and willingness to meet our needs and constant feedback about how our peppers was doing. She is great with dogs and we will for sure seek her services again. With Carley, your pet is in great hands! Thanks Carley!”
“Debra was incredibly sweet. This was a last minute booking with the holidays 1-2 days away. Debra was incredibly responsive throughout he process. She took our dog on frequent walks, provided photos/videos and updates how he was doing. Simply put, we couldn’t have asked for more. We’d definitely recommend.”
“Gabrielle was great! I had to book last-minute and she was able to take my reservation on short notice, and she was great with my dog. She took her on multiple walks over the stay and when I came to pick Bug up she was happy and well taken care of”
About: I have loved taking care of friend's and family's pets whenever there is a need. I am very active and enjoy taking walks and playing! As I am a stay at home Mom, my schedule is very flexible. I go on walks with my own dog and play fetch daily! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly black lab to keep your pup company! There is also plenty of room for space if needed.
About: I have had many dogs and cared for many others. It is a true labor of love for me and something I really love doing. I’m retired so my schedule is super flexible. Whatever your schedule I can probably accommodate it. Give me a try and let’s see if we can work it out. I love them but I don’t board dogs (sorry). Couldn’t negotiate that successfully with my wife. I do love spending time with them on walks or in your home.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ironshire is $56
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ironshire
Alexis was absolutely amazing, I wish I had more words to describe how wonderful she was with our girl. Alexis watched our Lacey (a small chi mix with medical complications for a full week+ over Christmas... She sent multiple pictures every day, updates, put up with her tiny bladder messing up her door mat. She even brought our girl to her family celebration, she sent a picture of Lacey cuddled up in her Dad's lap even. She absolutely treated our little doggie as a cherished family member. We will absolutely be booking again this summer vacation and all the next Christmasses she is available. I really can't sing her praises enough, our Lacey has been boarded over Christmas for 5 years now, and while most experiences have been good, Alexis was outstanding. Thank you so much doll, I hope to see you again this summer, I'm sorry I took so long but wanted to have your tip ready ❤️

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Ironshire can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ironshire home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ironshire.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ironshire. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ironshire sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
